Dear Friend of GATA and Gold:

U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, was able to read aloud for the cameras some of his prepared statement at the Feb. 15 meeting of the House Financial Services
Committee
(http://www.house.gov/paul/congrec/congrec2007/cr021507.htm [1]),
which was forwarded to you in a GATA dispatch on Feb. 17. Now someone has posted at YouTube.com the C-SPAN video of Paul's remarks. The committee's sound system fails briefly, and Paul is cut short because of a lack of time, but it's a chance to see a courageous and principled politician in action.

You can find the video at YouTube here:

Paul is seeking the Republican nomination for president in 2008 and you can find the Internet site of his exploratory committee here:
